The Feeling of a Properly Functioning Program

One of the best moments I get as a programmer in training is the feeling when I see a program pass all of the test cases I have provided. It makes me happy to know that my program is functioning correctly. Recently, my courses have called for more advanced programs. Classes with various functions. Many classes in the program. Both private and public variables. The opportunity to have made an error increases with every function I build. The bigger the function, the more I worry about having messed up my code. Believe me, it is a pain when you are looking for the problem in your code, as I have not yet learned how to use a debugger. Suffice it to say that after hours of coding, when my function passes the test cases, I get a smile on my face. I hope I never lose this feeling, as it is the best part of learning to code.

Thank you for reading!
